Two bugs in CSV export

The LTS version seems to have two issues with exporting CSV data from a standard Tracked Variable chart, one more serious than the other.

When exporting the data of a chart with more than one tracked variable, it seems that only the last series is exported. See the attached model in which I created a chart to show the content of the two queues. The corresponding exported file only has one series. Plotting this in Excel shows that it's the data for Queue2.
When choosing a file name that already exists, the Save Dialog asks me if I want to overwrite that file. When I click yes, the exported data is actually appended to the existing file.

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.0.9

charts tracked variable csv

graph-with-two-series.fsm (20.1 KiB)

export.csv (18.8 KiB)

@Mischa Spelt, FYI, I just added .csv to the allowed file types for attachments. Thanks for mentioning it.

1. I checked this and didn't see the problem so I looked at your exported file and it does have two series.

2. Thanks for letting us know about this we will get it fixed.

Hi @Jacob Gillespie. Thanks for pointing out #1. I was expecting the series to be in two value columns in a single table, but it seems like there are two separate consecutive tables in the file. I may have seen this but mistaken it for an example of #2. Downside is that it takes some work to find out which table is which series.
